Words Matter

This piece by Don Lemon of CNN (http://Twitter.com/donlemoncnn) is a
reminder that we need to remember that all words carry weight.

Words of hatred and ignorance have no place at the table of life and
when I hear kids or others using words such as, "nigga, faggot, dyke,
and gook", to name a few, I wince because they don't realize that
those words were used to break-down and make someone feel inferior and
separate us.

Now, more than ever, we have to realize that we don't live in pockets,
even though many people choose to self-segregate.

At the end of the day, it's all about FEAR and fear is something that
is difficult to overcome no matter if you're male, female, Black,
White, Asian, Hispanic, gay, Bi-Racial, etc.

Ignorance breeds fear, fear fuels hatred and hatred feeds the ignorance....especially when it comes to Health Care Reform.
